    the sliding door on my 1998 dodge caravan does not slide without being lifted or slung with great force. I do not have the money to take it to a dealer now. I need information on what parts and how to fix it.

First, keep in mind that as you begin to remove these doors you run the risk of causing serious scratches to the paint and glass, so put some masking tape and/or plastic sheeting around both sides of the door (rear quarter panel and rear glass, front door and front door glass)
I would get a Haynes repair guide since that's what I have to work from and it will tell you step by step with pictures, what to do. It's not hard, but you need to get all of the attach points unhooked to be successful. Suggest you have a helper working with you to keep the door steady.

I have a 2005 Grand Caravan and the left power sliding door quit working.

This is listed several times, My 2005 Town & Country had the same problem until I found on this website a solution. Turn the key on, open the door from the seated position in the van and SLAM the door with button pushed 1-6 times. Mine worked the first time.

Caravan air filter

The air filter for the cabin is located inside the van, look under the glove box door there should be a plastic holder that slides to the rearward of the van pull this back and a flat plastic door will come off, the door is two parts.

Some base vans do not have this filter if you look at the bottom of this and see a 1/2 long plastic stud sticking out of the bottom there is no filter in this.
